I most say at first the sorounding is the most beautiful ever 💚💙 The rooms in hotel were renovated, sou we had new bed, flooring and closet - smelled new. However the bathroom is still old and very very badly cleaned, i actually wiped some tiles on wall cause i was sick of looking at them and discusted by thinking of puting towel on it. And the food is .. i have no word for it.. we had "ajvar" in green salad and nothing to go with. We've been in some low budget hotels before, but it was never this terrible. I mostly ate soup and dessert, went later into town for a bite/dinner. Food was like it was made yesterday, with no taste and overcooked, it wasn't even good to look at. Breakfasts aren't any better, no pate, no cream cheese, out of yogurt, no nutella. Sliced sausages are all discolurfull and bad taste. If u like fruits and veggis you won't get them here. The nature is amazing, clean sea, peacefull. And at Covid times at beach you have only one kiosk with ice cream, pomes, hot dog,.. Go into mobile home rather.…

The hotel is a standard one, nothing special. If I call it a perfect place, it is not so much about the hotel but rather about its surroundings. The place is breathtaking. The mountains Biokovo, the pine forest with dancing squirrels and the seaside with nice pebble beaches. Astonishing air. The place is not overcrowded when compared to the nearby Baška Voda and Promajna /some 2 km in both directions/. The nights are quiet, with cicadas only singing. The complex consists of the hotel building + dependencies. As for me, I stayed in a dependence. They are standing under the pine trees, simply furnished with 2 or 3 beds. Each room has its own toilet and balcony. The seaside is close, some 100 m. There is a market in the area. The food is served in the nearby restaurant and it is sufficient. The price of the stay is moderate. As for me, Baško Polje is now my favourite place for spending summer vacation. …

I was in this hotel this September with my girlfriend´s. This hotel is exactly for youn couple who are not demanding. The brakfast are still the same. 2 kind´s of salami, 1 one cheese Eidam, terrible scrambled eggs or boiled eggs, and honey with jam. No more. Dinner´s are quite the same, 4 kind´s of meals and they are changed every day. Soup are the best choice of dinner´s. Beaches are wonderfull and sea too. Housekeeping give you every day new towels and clean you´s bathroom every days. Reception is english speaking and i think that they understad CZ language. This hotel I recemended peoples, who know, that thay want to enjoy nice nature, palms, and wonderful panoramic view to Biokovo, but no expect excelent food in the hotel.

We stayed in depadanse Hvar. The hotel with its depadanses is located in breathtakeing location- pine trees all around, squerls running around the trees and beautifull and peacefull beaches. One bar and one restaurant on the beach ( a bad one unfortunally ). 15 min walk from Baska Voda and 15 min walk from Promajna on the other side. Excellent beach bar on the way to Promajna called Viagra. Hotel itself is a different story. Very old. 3 beds in the room, very uncomfortable. Bathroom ok but old and rusty. Worst thing about hotel is food. Breakfast is poor and bread keeps runing out but is eateblle. Dinner is terrible! Meet is bad quality and not coocked enough, mashed potato is teastless and you can get fish only if you come to dinner at 6:30 because there is not enough for everyone. When they run out of fish they serve scrambled eggs as a replecement. Food is like in student cantine. We didn't even go to dinner last cuople of days. We went to restaurants in Baska Voda instead. All in all, avoid the hotel. My advice is to stay in Baska Voda and come to beach in Basko Polje. …

Hotel is huge from socialism age, no renovation. We had neither a/c, nor fan, no fridge in the room. Room had 3 beds around the room, so no romantic, also the beds were all making noise while moving, so we could hardly get sleep. We decided for All inclusive in this hotel, which was our biggest mistake. The food was really horrible, coffee in the afternoon only (forget coffee after lunch or dinner). Drinks only in the hotel restaurant, not on the beach! No drinks on the room allowed. I would describe it as full pension with drinks rather than all inclusive. The menu was to be chosen from 3 meals, the translation though would not be worse, so most of the time no idea, what is coming up! The surrounding is beautiful though, beach really nice and not overcrowded. I met people who were staying in the camp in a tint and they were really happy, knowing what they get for their money...…

We spent eight days in this hotel in summer 2012. The hotel seems to be really old and simply furnished, but its locations is great. It´s only a short walk, about 50 metres, to a beautiful pebble beach. Breakfasts and dinners were simple, quite good. I am not sure if it´s different now, but when we were there, there was no A/C in rooms, so they tended to get really hot during the day. There is a campsite behind the hotel. Near is also a small shop, where you can buy basic groceries, although from what I remember it was quite poorly stocked. It is not far from Baska Voda, which is bigger city, and some other villages and small cities are also pretty close. There is a bus stop about ten to fifteen minutes from the hotel, where buses to Makarska stop. I would recommend this hotel to travellers who seek for something cheaper and are not too demanding.…

We chose the hotel because it is located close to the beautiful pebbly beach, where you can sunbath or lie in the shade under trees. Also you can go on a boat trip to the Brač directly from Baško Polje. Hotel and its facilities are quite old, but you will not mind if you spend minimum time there...

The hotel is very simple and old, but it is located 2 km from town Baska Voda. Beach is just 50m from hotel. Schowers and toilets are for free only in this beach. Beach is very nice and no crowded. Everything what is written here bellow about breakfast and dinner is unfornatelly true. Hotel is good for family.

The hotel is situated near the town of Baske Voda..Me and my familly went here cuz there are too many peoiple in baske(crowds,crowds).The hotel rooms are...basic..even below that...No rooms,no TV,no fridge,and the hot water kept running out. Dont get me started about talking bout the food.My dad runs a motel(has been for 8 years) and he had 2 feuds withe restourant manager..The juice is horrible..maybe 2 drops of orange juice and a galon of water...Breakfast is way too simple..salami(3 types-1xchicken and 2xpork),a pasteta(spread on bread)(also 1xchicken and 1xpork).During breakfast you can drink "unlimited" amounts of juice(orange,apple and multi-vitamin[each worse then the other one].U get scrambelled eggs(la "cemente"),honey and jam...No chocolate spread,no sausages nor do they have hot-dogs.I mean every other restourant has them.For dinner(this is where do feuds happened) u get soup--again how much u like(very tasteless)..1 SERVING OF JUICE/Beer/Wine/Mineral Water(ONE serrving..no reefills)(0.2 dcl).The food normative is 15 dg-150 grams,but we got less than 50 grams of chicken file/pork(the very next night)...They dont give u a water bowl like in other restourants..U have to pay for "Botteled Water" 1 l-25 kuna's(about 4 euro)...They change ur towels every day except for sunday.. There is no Wi-Fi nor internet connection..There is 1 TV in the whole hotel(800+ rooms and more than 50 camp-houses)...But they do have a basketball,a football,a volleyball,a badminton court(no balls,u have to carry/buy ur own)... The beach is very nice...except for all the tree sap falling on u...There is enough shade for everybody...a cafe..and its very isolated...rough crowds happen on weekends when croats from the mainland come here... There is a supermarket and a bakery in the camp(50 yards behind the hotel[dependsa on ur depandans).. The nearest towns are Baske Voda(2km following a very nice walking path) where u have the night-clubs and cocktail bars... IF you want my advice..avoid this hotel but come to Baske Polje..its very quiet,not crowded..and they have great pizza..I recommend staying in Hotel Croatia or private apartments/private lodging... P.S the swimming pool is empty..dont get your hopes up on it being full...…

I stayed at hotel "Alem" dependence called "Vis" in July 11, in the peak of the season. This was my first visit after 21 years, when I was a regular guest of this hotel for many summers. First of all, it was funny to see that room has not changed a bit for all these years, curtains, carpets, toilet etc., still no TV, no air condition, it has small balcony with a sea view. I think this is one of the last hotels in Croatia which is State-owned and lack of care and investments only proves that State is a bad master. Anyway, I am kind of expected such situation but I was satisfied because it was clean place and it served its purpose, to sleep over and have a shower. The hotel had special offer for cca.30 Eur for overnight, including breakfast and dinner (which can be replaced for lunch). The food is eatable, some dishes are better than the other. Yes, I have been placed at the same table with other guests, but you don't necessarily have to come at the same time as they are. For example, I preferred early breakfast and dinner and haven't seen others at my table at all. What is the best at Baško Polje is great beach, clean see, long side walk along the sea to the neighboring place Baška Voda where you have to walk in order to buy newspapers or any other item form the store. But I did not mind that, I just love Baško Polje with all its isolation and lack of stores. I guess it will be completely different place once when a big hotel chain lays its eyes on it. There is no other hotel in this part of Dalmatian coast, which is for me the best part, in which you can stay and eat for this price. Unbeatable!…
